    Is this driver any good?? because I'm currently using NVIDIA 169.21 drivers and ever since I had them it I notice that in all my games I feel a little lag spike and it annoys me so bad because this happen to me during a match in counter strike 1.6, but if I get these drivers would it maybe fix the problem?? Where can I download these drivers?? because I went to that website it doesn't link me to anything to download those drivers, or its not out yet?

    These, and the beta 171.23, both gave me nasty stuttering in COD4 and City of Heroes.

    Shame really cause they looked promising but alas, back to 169.21 for me.

    I had the same prob using the 171.23 beta, damn jumpy effect in CoD4. You should try the new 174.12 they work much better for CoD4 :)

    I've had great results so far with this driver. I upgraded from the 169.21 driver. So far, I have noticed a FPS increase of around 10+ (yes, that's 10 and up, not an exaggeration either), along with smoother frame-rates (fewer fps dips - this may simply be because the FPS drops below some visibility threshhold, ie 45 or 30 fps, less frequently) in ETQW. The difference is readily apparent. I have only tried ETQW so far. There may also be some IQ improvement, but I didn't take screenshots so I'm inclined to think that the improved frame-rate is responsible for the improved play.

    In COD4 try selecting Dual Video Cards in the graphic options [EVEN IF YOU ARE NOT SLI] it stopped the shuttering on my kid's system which is not SLI.

    Thanks for the driver

    These give me an interesting issue. When you set value Max Frames to Render Ahead to "0" nv4_disp crashes and Windows Blue Screen of Death. Most interesting...this option has been absent from the drivers for awhile

    Thanks for the tip . That fixed the jerkiness in my COD4.
